Chapter 24
Invasion - Another Reason to Fight
Yuya Sakaki was frantically looking for Sora, Yuzu, Serena, Reira...anyone, really. The sun was beginning to set and the destruction could be seen in the distance. From fire spreading to nearby structures, to cries of battle in the distance.
"I can't believe the Unifiers could be capable of doing such a thing." Yuya expressed with a sorrowful expression."And to think Roget could use that to his advantage and declared Marshall Law. Why couldn't we...stop it in time?"
Before the young duelists could ponder more, he heard a cry of help."That voice!"
"Yuya!" The voice, belonging to a female, came again.
Yuya stopped his D-Wheel and looked around."Yuzu! Where are you?! Yuzu!"
A small figure came from behind a house wearing a run-down brown coat with a hoodie. It was hard to tell, but Yuya recognized some of the girl's features to be that of Yuzu's."Yuzu?!"
"Yuya!" She cried out again with a tint of happiness, waving her arms around."I'm right here!"
"I'm going, Yuzu!" Yuya got off his D-Wheel and left his helmet on the seat, dashing over to Yuzu with tears in his eyes."I'm glad you're safe! I've been lo-"
A hard quick to the gut cut Yuya's sentence short. Yuya could feel the urge to vomit put held it back as much as he could. Clearly, in pain, he rose his head to meet Yuzu's, who had a sardonic smile on her face."Y-Yuzu...what are you..."
'Yuzu' delivered a right hook to Yuya's face and a series of punches to his chest before grabbing his head and throwing him against the ground.
"HAHAHAHA! What a dumbass! You totally fell for that, you dirty dog!" The girl cackled as she removed her coat, revealing her orange hair."Hitting you felt SOOO satisfying though! I could hear your pain in your voice as I punched you!"
"Y-you are not...Yuzu..." Yuya wheezed, struggling to get back on his feet."And you're not...Serena either...who are you?"
"Yuzuuuu! Yuzuuuu! Here I come, my darling! Hyahaha! I can't believe you actually fell for that! You must be fucking blind to confuse me for that titless pinkette! And that damned traitor! Come on! Give me a break! Are the Lancers all idiots like this?! No wonder you've been losing left and right against us!"
"Losing?" Yuya echoed, dumbfounded.
"I'm getting ahead of myself here." She replied with a wink."Anyways, my name is Wendy! I'm your friend's Ritual Counterpart!"
"Ritual Counterpart? That's what the General said back in the Ritual Dimension..." Yuya's gears began grinding."You're that girl that was taken away by Academia!"
"Eh?" Wendy had a smug on her face."Is that what they told you? Then again, they do like to change stories i-WAIT A MOMENT! You know the General?!"
"Of course I do! He helped us a lot when we went to the Ritual Dimension! If it weren't for him...we wouldn't even have made it this far!" Yuya kept going as if he was hoping for the girl to remember the General.
"Tough luck." She said nonchalantly, scratching her ear."Well, good to know the old man is still alive and kickin'. I was hoping to card him myself eventually. He's just leading a dimension full of meatbags with no option left but to follow a simple man."
"How can you say that?! He wanted to save you! You think he wanted you to just hand your life to Academia?!" Yuya insisted.
Wendy spat on the floor."Dumbass. Save my dimension? Cause I wanted to? That's nothing but bullshit! They are the ones who threw me away like yesterday's trash!" She clenched her fists."I knew that if I didn't give up on my own, they were bound to do it by force and it would have been more painful for me...But...that's when it happened!"
Yuya took a step away as he felt her murderous aura beginning to surround her."Academia is all I've ever known and cared. They made me who I am today! Them and my master! My sweet, sweet Seiko-sama..." She murmured under her breath before yelling again."...and my darling Yuke! My precious cinnamon bun who did nothing wrong!"
"Yuke...you mean the one who looks like me? My Ritual Counterpart?" Yuya tried to clarify.
Wendy gave him a pleased smile."Seems like even a clown like you is capable of catching on. Yes, Yuke is your Ritual Counterpart. He's also the one responsible for my Dimension's destruction. But I couldn't care less about that. He's the reason why my life changed for the better! I just want to get him with my own hands and squeeze him until he has given me all of his love!"
Yuya laughed dryly with a deadpanned expression."She reminds me more of Mieru and less of Yuzu.' He shook his head."But that doesn't make any sense! Why would he do that?! Kill all of those people...and how could you support someone like that?!"
Wendy shrugged."Dunno. He never tells anyone about it, so I assume he just doesn't care. As for your second question, because it's fun!" She laughed."If I weren't doing this, what's the point of living? Chaos opened new opportunities for someone like me! All that's left is for you to surrender your titless friend and walk away peacefully."
"Yuya, don't listen to her." Yuto's spirit appeared next to Yuya."I can feel it...her malevolent aura. Trusting in her words is probably not good."
Yuya swallowed hard."I'd imagined she has no intention of letting me walk alive, even if I surrender. I accept your challenge, Wendy!'
"Are you sure?" Yuto gave him a concerned look."We don't have time to waste with her. We have to get to where Serena is and get her out of there."
Yuya nodded in understanding.'I know. I'll have to end this quickly. Besides, I feel like she won't let me leave if I don't beat her.'
"Fair enough." Yuto disappeared into the air.
Wendy licked her lips."You have some balls after all. Please do entertain me!" She readied her Duel Disk.
Yuya frowned, activating his own."I'm sorry for what you went through. But this isn't right. I'll make you see that through our duel."
Field Spell: Cross-Over
"Duel!" Both duelists yelled.
Yuya vs. Wendy LP: 4000
"I'll let you go first." Wendy grinned."I wanna see what you've got."
"Fine! My turn! I, with the Scale 1 Stargazer Magician and the Scale 8 Timegazer Magician, set the Pendulum Scale!" Behind Yuya, two magicians rose up in the sky in columns of light.
"Now I'm able to Summon monsters from Level 2 to 7 simultaneously! Swing, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Come forth! Level 7, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon Level 7, Scale 7, Dark, Dragon, Pendulum, ATK: 2500, DEF: 2000
"I set a card face-down and end my turn!" Yuya concluded.
"Ooo, already with that dragon of yours! Still, what good is it gonna do? My turn! When I control no monsters on the field and my opponent controls a Level 5 or higher monster, I can Special Summon Origami Dark Knight!"
A tornado of paper appeared on the field, giving the form of a dark knight made out of paper with a paper clip for as a sword.
Origami Dark Knight Level 6, Dark, Fairy, ATK: 2100, DEF: 1000
"I activate his effect! I can gain LP equal to the difference between him and a monster you control!"
Wendy LP: 4000+400= 4400
"But after, he's useless! Just like you! So I'll be using my Ritual Spell, Origami's Charm! I'll tribute the Level 6 Dark Knight in order to Ritual Summon!"
Dark Knight unfolded itself and began folding back into a new being as Wendy chanted."Monster that resides in the depths of a dark forest, make your entrance to the field and take away the will to live! Ritual Summon! Come on down, Level 6! Origami Wanga Kong!"
A brown paper gorilla appeared on the field, beating its chest with fury.
Origami Wanga Kong Level 6, Dark, Fairy, Ritual, ATK: 1800, DEF: 600
"Then I activate its effect! Once per turn, I can target one of your monsters and make it lose 300 ATKs per card on the field! There are currently 5, so your dear dragon will lose 1500!"
Wanga Kong began banging on the ground, making it shake violently and dropping Odd-Eyes to the ground.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK: 1000
"Battle! Wanga Kong, smash his stupid dragon to pieces! Hammer Joe!" Wanga Kong jumped high enough to be above Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and began to free fall towards it.
Yuya began running towards some platforms and jumped on top of a few to reach an Action Card."I activate the Action Card, Evasion! I can negate the incoming attack of one of your monsters!" Yuya's dragon jumped back, dodging Wanga Kong.
"Action Cards..." Wendy hissed."I had forgotten how annoying you can be with those. Poor Dennis. He gave everything up to feed us with Intel but in the end that shit's useless to me."
"Dennis..." Yuya gritted his teeth, remembering how his fellow Lancer has betrayed them.
"Poor little Yuya! I end my turn with this, doppelganger. Hope you got something else other than that dumb dragon of yours."
"My monsters are not dumb!" Yuya yelled back."My turn! I draw! From my hand, I Normal Summon Performapal Skullcrobat Joker!"
Performapal Skullcrobat Joker Level 4, Scale 8, Dark, Spellcaster, Pendulum, ATK: 1600, DEF: 100
Wendy rose a brow in confusion."You Normal Summoned him? But why didn't you just Pendulum Summon?"
"That's simple!" Yuya smiled, though it seemed forced."Skullcrobat's effect only activates when he's normal summoned. Basically, I can get a "Performapal", "Magician" Pendulum, or "Odd-Eyes" monster from my Deck to my hand! I'll add Performapal Splashmammoth to my hand!"
"Next up, with the already set Pendulum Scale, I Pendulum Summon! Come, Level 6! Performapal Splashmammoth!"
A purple elephant with a hat appeared on Yuya's field.
Performapal Splashmammoth Level 6, Scale 4, Water, Beast, Pendulum, ATK: 1900, DEF: 2300
"Big deal." Wendy scoffed with a condescending smirk."As if I'm scared of a dumb-looking elephant."
"You will be." Yuya narrowed his eyes."I activate Splashmammoth's effect! I can Fusion Summon a Dragon-Type monster usings monsters I control as materials!
Odd-Eyes and Splashmammoth entered a multicolored vortex and Yuya began to chant."Dual-colored eyed dragon, become one with the blizzard behemoth and give birth to a new power! Fusion Summon! Come forth, ferocious dragon with luminous feral eyes!
Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon Level 8, Dark, Dragon, Fusion, ATK: 3000, DEF: 2000
"Battle phase! Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, attack Wanga Kong! Hell Dive Burst!" Yuya's dragon fired a massive stream of lava in the shape of a dragon's head.
Wendy stood there silently before breaking into a full grin from ear to ear."Wanga Kong's second effect activates! When it's targeted for an attack by a monster with higher ATKs than its own, I can Special Summon its tributed material and have you target that instead! Get your ass here, meatbag!"
Dark Knight appeared momentarily on the field before being incinerated by the attack.
"Nope! Sorry! That new dragon of yours is pretty neat, but it can't go through Wanga Kong's defense!" She implored with glee.
"At this moment, Beast-Eyes' ability activates! If this card destroys one of your monsters by battle, I can deal you damage equal to Splashmammoth's ATKs!"
The explosion caught up to Wendy, knocking her back.
Wendy LP: 2500
"You son of a bitch! How dare you take LP away from me!" She growled after composing herself.
"I'm sorry." Yuya closed his eyes."But I told you I don't have time to be here. I will finish this as soon as possible."
Wendy sneered at his comment."In your dreams! You think you can take me on but you're nothing but Yuke's copy!"
Yuya felt pity for the girl."I don't know what caused you to become like this, but I will prevent Yuzu and Serena to ever go through that! I end my turn!"
"About damn time! Loser dog, today is your lucky day! It just so happens that I want to enjoy this duel to the fullest, so I will not finish you off as soon as I had intended!" Wendy laughed at her own statement, prompting Yuya to become restless.
"What did you say?!"
"I said that it's my turn, I draw! Let's start by activating this Continous Spell, Thorns of Paper! This card allows me to Special Summon a "Thorn" token on your side of the field each turn in DEF mode. Let's start now, shall we?"
A small piece of paper with sharp sides appeared on the field.
Thorn Token Level 1, Earth, Fairy, ATK: 200, DEF: 800
"What are you planning?!" Yuya demanded after taking a look at his new addition.
"I was just getting to that, dumbass. You see, each time a new token is Special Summoned, my continuous Spell Card also gains a Thorn Counter. But the rest will be revealed in due time! But don't think it's over just yet! I'll also be activating my Equip Spell, Gauntlets of Chaos! I can equip this with a monster I control and it will gain 400 ATKs!"
Origami Wanga Kong ATK: 2200
"Now it's where the fun part begins! Battle!"
Wanka Gong began jumping its way towards Beast-Eyes with its new gauntlets."Gauntlets of Chaos have a dandy ability! When a monster equipped with said card battles a monster from the Extra Deck, that monster will be sent back and its Summoning Materials are Special Summon with their effects negated!"
Wanga Kong grabbed Beast-Eyes by its stomach and literally split it apart, causing it to defuse.
Performapal Splashmammoth Level 6, Scale 4, Water, Beast, Pendulum, ATK: 1900, DEF: 2300
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon Level 7, Scale 7, Dark, Dragon, Pendulum, ATK: 2500, DEF: 2000
"The battle is resumed! I attack that annoying Splashmammoth! Smash Barrage!" Wanga Kong unleashed a storm of punches towards Splashmammoth, destroying it.
Yuya LP: 3700
"My monster..." Yuya was horrified at the amount of violence she was capable of.
"Not to worry. Soon, you'll be joining your pets in the grave when I'm done with you! However, I'm still far from done with my play. I activate the Spell Card, Exchange! We have to change a card from our hands with each other. Since we only have one left, we don't have much of a choice, do we?"
Yuya gasped in shock, taking a look at his single card. Smile World. However, before his thoughts could further process, a card was tossed to him.
"You better not keep a lady waiting, loser dog!" Wendy stuck her tongue out."Give me your card already, damn!"
Yuya clicked his tongue and hesitantly tossed the card to her. Yuya checked up his hand; it wasn't a good one. He had received a Spell Card called Blossom of Paper, which would increase the ATK of all "Origami" monsters on the field by 300.
"What the hell is this?!" He heard Wendy shout in annoyance."Smile World? The fuck? All monsters gain 100 ATKs for each monster on the field? This is trash! I thought the card I gave you was useless to you, but this is even worse for me! What the fuck am I gonna be giving my opponent ATKs for?!"
"Don't you dare call that card useless!" Yuya found himself shouting in rage, suddenly feeling an intense sensation of hatred."My dad gave me that card and he entrusted it with me! It's not a useless card!"
"Yusho-senpai?" Wendy furrowed her brow.
Yuya blinked a couple of times."I remember that Evan guy called him Yusho sensei. Does that mean you know him as well?!"
"Yeah, I do." Wendy was speaking normally now."He used to teach us all about Dueling once upon a time until he turned his back on us. That damn weasel!"
"Is my father okay?!" Yuya's mind was all over the place. Not only did he want to know about Yuzu's whereabouts, but now his father's too.
"At this point, I don't know, nor do I care." Wendy shrugged."But I now have another reason to enjoy crushing the life out of you! I end my turn!"
Yuya gritted his teeth, feeling anger once more."I will defeat you! It's my move! I draw!"
"Not so fast, cowboy! At this moment, yet another "Thorn" Token will appear on your field!" Wendy interjected.
Thorn Token Level 1, Earth, Fairy, ATK: 200, DEF: 800 (x2)
Yuya continued with his move."Once again, I Pendulum Summon Performapal Splashmammoth! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, attack Wanga Kong! Spiral Strike Burst!"
Odd-Eyes fired an imponent burst of red energy at Wanga Kong, piercing through its body and destroying the gauntlets.
Wendy covered her face with her arms as she was feeling pushed back by the shockwave.
"When Odd-Eyes battles a level 5 or Higher monster, the damage is doubled! Reaction Force!" Odd-Eyes orbs began glowing while it began charging up a destructive yellow beam of energy towards Wendy who stared at it in disbelief.
Wendy LP: 1900
Yuya felt on one knee, feeling suddenly drain of the previous hatred inside of his soul."I can't help but picture Yuzu when I look at her...and by attacking her like that..."
"Oh...you shouldn't worry about me, darling." Wendy's voice rang through the boy's ears. Once the smoke cleared, Wendy was standing with her hands behind her back, smiling like an innocent girl being caught."After all, this is just what I enjoy the most. Feeling the very pain of a battle can get boost up your strength to levels that you wouldn't even comprehend. That is what Chaos is. The very feeling of emptiness and impotence that serves as a stepping stone for a power beyond!"
"S-she's insane..." Yuya breathed.
"So this is what Chaos leads people to be..." Yuto grimaced.
"I set an end my turn." Yuya didn't dare to bat an eye away from the girl.
"Very! Bring in the pain! I draw! Due to Thorns of Paper! Another token is Summoned onto your field!"
Thorn Token Level 1, Earth, Fairy, ATK: 200, DEF: 800 (x3)
"Enough waiting already! At this moment, I release all of my card's counters! With that, all of your "Thorn" tokens are destroyed and you take 300 points of damage and I gain that amount! However, my Spell is destroyed."
The thorn tokens shredded into pieces and flew over to Yuya, cutting a few chunks of his outfit along with some of his skin.
Yuya LP: 3700-1200= 2500
Wendy LP: 1900+1200= 3100
"I then activate the Spell Card, Graceful Charity! I draw 3 cards from my Deck and discard 2 from my hand!" Wendy quickly drew her cards and got 2 from her hand."I won't be needing Smile World since it's such a useless card for anyone. Trust me, I'm doing you a favor."
"No!" Yuya cried out.'Dad...'
"No, you say? Please! You would have discarded that card if I didn't do so myself! Anyways, I have a few handy tricks up my sleeve with this draw! I just so happened to send a monster to the graveyard along with your dear Smile World. Origami Urla's effect activates! When this card is sent to the graveyard by a card effect, I can draw a card. I then activate my Ritual Spell, Stolen Form of Art! I can use one of your monsters as a tribute in order to Ritual Summon. Naturally, I feel like choosing your favorite! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, become my sacrifice!"
Odd-Eyes Pendulum dragon turned into blue dust and flew over to an altar that had purple flames surrounding it as Wendy began to chant.
"The unison of the beautiful pieces of art come together and bring forth a new masterpiece for the century! Ritual Summon! Show them the world, Level 7! Origami Odimia!"
Out of a storm of paper, a golden piece of paper folded itself to resemble a woman with wings on her back and a bow and arrow.
Origami Odimia Level 7, Light, Fairy, Ritual, ATK: 2500, DEF: 1900
"You should feel honored, Yuya! Your idiotic dragon helped me bring forth one of my strongest masterpieces! " She cackled in amusement.
"Even Odd-Eyes..." Yuya's eyes began twitching."...was taken away from me..."
"Disappointed? Should be! I activate Odimia's effect! When this card is successfully Special Summoned, I can gain LP equal to its materials! Which means your Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon is going to serve me more!"
Wendy LP: 3100+2500= 5600
"5-5600 life points..." Yuto's eyes widened.
"Once per turn, I can draw a card, reveal it, and send it to the graveyard! Hell yeah! I drew a spell card! Which means all Face-up Spell cards you control and return to the deck and shuffled!"
Yuya felt his heart skip a beat."The only Spells I have are-"
"That's right! Your Pendulum Scales technically count as Face-up Spell Cards! Which means they're going kaboom!"
Both of Yuya's magicians were quickly pierced by Odimia's arrows.
"Now you're out of your only source of power. The only thing that's left...is a painful death!" Wendy began jumping on platforms as Yuya.
Yuya made a run for an Action Card but Wendy stood in front of him and began delivering punches, which he blocked as much as he could.
"Why do you keep resisting so much?!" Wendy pounded Yuya ferociously with her fists."At this point, your friends are probably being carded right now as we speak!"
Yuya put his arms in front of his face to protect himself."What are you...?!"
"Haven't you noticed? From that explosion back at the Palace, the destruction of the bridge, to that luminous clash of dark and light up in the sky! All of your friends have been losing their duels and are in our hands! You're probably one of the few still remaining. Who knows, maybe Yuzu has already been secured! You. ARE. JUST. WASTING. TIME!" Wendy hit Yuya right in his jaw, but he took an Action Card with him to the ground."Battle! Kill him, Odimia! Judgment Rain!"
Odinia grabbed a total of 6 paper arrows and fired them up in the sky, which eventually began descending towards Yuya's sole monster, Splashmammoth.
"I activate the Action Card, Choice Choice! Monsters cannot be destroyed by battle!"
"Useless!" Wendy cried out as she jumped out of the platform."I activate the Action Card, Double Trouble! Damage calculation is doubled! You'll still take damage!"
The arrows landed dangerously close to Yuya with the exception of one, who managed to cut part of his cheek. Yuya felt on his knees and rested on his arms.
Yuya LP: 1300
"Ah! That was refreshing, wasn't it?" Wendy grinned at the sky."You're taking too long to lose, you know? But I think you were hoping to win? Hahahah! What a loser dog!"
Yuya's hair covered his eyes, his body feeling limp.
"What's wrong? Given up already?" Wendy taunted him."Please say no. I want to keep enjoying this as much as I can. We have all the time in the world anyway, so it doesn't matter."
"No..."
"What was that?" Wendy put a hand on her ear."Sorry, I couldn't hear you."
"There's...still time..." Yuya clenched his pendulum."You look like Yuzu and Serena, but you couldn't be more different than them. You're by far the most ruthless opponent I've ever faced...but at the same time, you're the most desperate."
"Desperate? What the hell are you talking about now?"
"The General told us how much you meant for everyone...he trusted your skills and abilities and said you were a prodigy. So it hurt his heart when Academia forced them to take you away from them...they've suffered enough as it was to be submitted by them as well. I'm sure you thought that back then. You didn't want to see them suffer more and volunteered on your own to go with them to protect them. It pains me so much how someone like you can become a monster."
"Save me the morality class." Wendy crossed her arms.
A dark aura began surrounding Yuya as his hair spiked up. He lifted his head, revealing his eyes now glowing and his pupils white."That's why I won't let you win this duel! I've wasted enough time!"
Wendy flinched at his sudden outburst. Then, she noticed her bracelet was glowing intensely."Suit yourself! I set a card end my turn!"
"My turn! I draw! At this moment, I activate my Trap Card, Lost Miracle! When I have left than half of my life points, I can activate this card. It allows me to discard a card from my hand and draw 5 cards from my Deck! I'll discard the card you gave me!" Yuya discarded his card and drew his 5 cards, his hand now at 6." I activate the Spell Card, Monster Reborn! I will revive Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon reappeared on the field, roaring fiercely.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon Level 7, Scale 7, Dark, Dragon, Pendulum, ATK: 2500, DEF: 2000
"I activate the Ritual Spell, Odd-Eyes Advent!" Yuya announced as he activated his new card.
"WHAT?! You can Ritual Summon?!" Wendy asked in awe.
"I have to Tribute Pendulum Monster in my hand or field whose level is equal to or more than the monster I want to summon! I send Performapal Odd Sage in order to Ritual Summon!"
A summoning circle appeared on the field with a red candle on one side while a blue one appeared on the other. A man with black robes holding a staff appeared on it.
"The Pendulum lost in turmoil and self-doubt, swing forward and lead the generation to an era of hope! Ritual Summon! Blue dragon with dichromatic eyes! Level 7! Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon!"
Yuya's new dragon appeared on the field, standing next to Odd-Eyes.
Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon Level 7, Dark, Dragon, Ritual, ATK: 2800, DEF: 2500
"I can't believe it! He actually evolved into Ritual?! No way in hell was I expecting this shit!"
"When Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon is Special Summoned, I can return all Spell and Trap cards you control to your hand and you can't activate any effect to respond to this!"
Wendy was forced to get her set card back in her hand."Bastard!"
"At this moment, I activate Odd Sage's effect. When it's used for a Ritual Summoned, that monster gains 500 ATK!"
Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon ATK: 3300
"I am not letting you off with just this!" Yuya's aura became even stronger."From my hand, I summon Performapal Nightmare Knight!"
A small knight with dark armor appeared on the field.
Performapal Nightmare Knight Level 4, Dark, Warrior, ATK: 1700, DEF: 0
"When I Normal Summon a monster on the field, I can Special Summon Performapal Helpprincess!"
A small fairy with a crown appeared on the field, giggling.
Performapal Helpprincess Level 4, Dark, Warrior, ATK: 1200, DEF: 1200
"I overlay both of my Level 4 monsters to Construct the Overlay Unit!"
Both of Yuya's monsters enter a black portal as he began chanting.
"Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose its treacherous fangs! Descend, now! XYZ Summon! Rank 4, Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon!"
Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon Rank 4, Dark, Dragon, XYZ, ATK: 2500, DEF: 2000, OU: 2
"By detaching an Overlay Unit, Dark Rebellion can target a Level 5 or Higher monster you control and take half of its ATKs at its own until the end phase! Treason Discharge!"
Dark Rebellion spread its wings, letting out purple lightning which surrounded Odimia.
Origami Odimia ATK: 1250
Dark Rebellion ATK: 3750
"I'll use the remaining Overlay Unit to use its effect once more! Treason Discharge!"
Origami Odimia ATK: 625
Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon ATK: 4375
"No way! It gained that much attack because of my monster?! Wendy stepped back in fear."I can see you don't look like Yuke for nothing...!"
All three of Yuya's dragons roared in sync as if preparing for a simultaneous attack.
"Let's finish this, Yuya!" Yuto appeared behind Yuya.
Yuya's eyes and hair return to normal as he extended his hand outwards."Yeah! Battle! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon attacks Origami Odimia and since her Level is higher than 5, battle damage is doubled! And my two remaining dragons attack you directly!"
All dragons began charging up beams of energy in their mouths and stood next to each other.
"Go! Berserk Light of Absolution!" All dragons fired at a certain point, causing their attacks to unite and increase the newly formed beam in size.
Origami Odimia was completely obliterated by the attack, turning the paper into nothing but ashed, however, the attack now was coming to Wendy. She placed her hands in front of her and held onto dear life against the attack, but of course, was pushed back with ease as her feet were lifted off the ground.
"YUYA...SAKAKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" She screamed with a maniacal expression on her face as the attack launched her on the pavement, creating an explosion that left a crater on the street.
Wendy LP: 0
Winner: Yuya!
Yuya dismissed his dragons and took a look at where Wendy had landed. She was unconscious with bruises all over her body. He felt the need to go helper but decided against. Reluctantly, he began walking away towards his D-Wheel, putting his helmet on and starting the engine.
"It's alright, Yuya. If we didn't do it, she would have defeated you and carded you." Yuto tried to comfort him."She wasn't focused on winning, but to delay this duel as much as possible to aid her comrades. We have to go find Serena and Reira."
"Yeah...you're right." Yuya put his goggles on and rode away from the scene.
"Duel!" Both of them shouted as actions cards spread across the field.
Tariko vs. Sawatari LP: 4000
"I'll take the first move! From my hand, I summon Noble Knight Borz in ATK position!"
A knight with a red cape appeared on the field, holding a golden cup.
Noble Knight Borz Level 4, Light, Warrior, ATK: 1700, DEF: 900
"This card, however, it's treated as a Dark monster and has its level increased by 1." Tariko explained.
Noble Knight Borz Level 5, Dark, Warrior, Normal, ATK: 1700, DEF: 900
"But that's not the only effect he has! I activate Borz's effect!" Three cards shoved out of his deck as he grabbed them."I can reveal a total of 3 "Noble Arms" cards from my Deck and you choose one at random."
"Huh? What's the point of that?" Sawatari rose a brow."Whatever, I'll pick the one on the left."
"Cool!" Tariko grinned, sending the other cards to the graveyard."Due to the effect, I can only add that selected card and send the rest to the graveyard. I set a card face-down and end my turn."
"Opening small, aren't we?" Sawatari smirked."Well then, I'll show you what the Great Sawatari is capable of! Then it's my move, I draw! Let me show you what Pendulum Summon can do! I, with the Scale 2 Abyss Actor - Alliner Masquarade and the Scale 9 Abyss Actor - Twinkle Littlestar, set the Pendulum Scale!"
Two monsters began ascending two columns of light behind Sawatari.
"Now I can simultaneously Special Summon monsters from Level 3 to 8!" Sawatari announced."Pendulum Summon! Come to me, Abyss Actor - Wild Hope and Abyss Actor - Pretty Heroine!"
Both of Sawatari's monsters appeared on the field.
Abyss Actor - Wild Hope Level 4, Scale 2, Dark, Fiend, Pendulum, ATK: 1600, DEF: 1200
Abyss Actor - Pretty Heroine Level 4, Scale 9, Dark, Fiend, Pendulum, ATK: 1500, DEF: 1000
"I activate Wild Hope's effect! It gains 100 ATKs per each different "Abyss Actor" card on my field! Since I control two of them, that's a boost in 200 ATKs!"
Abyss Actor - Wild Hope ATK: 1800
"Let's battle! Wild Hope, attack his knight!" Sawatari commanded, his monster aiming his gun at the knight."And shoot!"
"Not so fast!" Tariko moved at an incredible speed towards a platform and grabbed an action card."I'll play along with your stupid rules! I activate this Action Card! Evasion! But that only triggers my Trap Card, Fair Spar! This card can only be activated when a Spell Card is used! It negates every single one of your card effects until the end of this turn! That means, your monster's ATKs return to normal!"
Abyss Actor - Wild Hope ATK: 1600
Borz quickly drew his sword and cut the bullet in half, sending a slashing wave towards Wild Hope and cutting him in half.
Sawatari LP: 3900
"You call that a performance? Please, that was just lame!" Tariko taunted, giving him a toothy grin with his shark-like teeth.
"Oh, don't worry." Sawatari raised a thumb."It's going to take more than that to stop me. After all, if I lose here, there's no way I can aim to become the best duelist out there!"
"Silly dreams." Tariko shrugged."Once upon a time, I was just like you. You see, I once aimed to be the best swordsman in my dimension. You know, I wanted to be a kind of warrior a princess could trust as her guard. But then I realized just how hopeless I was and I gave up on that dream. Some dreams are just too high up to get it. There will be other people above us no matter how much we try to be the best. Deluding ourselves to believe something that will never become true will just kill us slowly and at the end of the day, we will die with plenty of regrets about never achieving success."
Sawatari felt his arms go limp. His expression was a blank one and listened to what the swordsman was saying. Tariko kept going."Still, you guys fight. You stand against us, who are far above your leagues and think you can be heroes and save the world. But little do you know that even if you wanted to do that, you can't. So just do yourself a favor and give up. Give up on your dreams and this duel. Save yourself the pain from failure and just don't do it at all. Trust me, it will feel a lot better."
Sawatari's eyes were hidden by his bangs."So what? When you're too scared to do something, you'll just throw in the towel? When you don't find the courage to try something, you're just going to cower in fear?! Don't mess with me! I will never give up! No matter what everyone says! This who I am and nothing you say will ever change! Do you think we care that you guys are stronger than us? I say bring it! A challenge is what we need! If we can't defeat you guys, there's no way we can hope to defeat Academia! I set a card face-down and give you the stage!"
Tariko took a step back.'This guy...I couldn't break his spirit...?' Tariko scowled."Then get ready for disappointment! I draw! From my hand, I normal Summon Noble Knight Bedwyr!"
Noble Knight Bedwyr Level 4, Light, Warrior, ATK: 1600, DEF: 1500
"When this card is Summoned, I can send a "Noble Arms" Spell from my Deck to my graveyard! Then, once per turn, I can target a "Noble Arms" Spell and equip it to a monster on my field! I will bring back my Noble Arms - Arfeudutyr and equip it Borz!"
A gray sword with a gem stuck on the middle of its handle appeared on Borz's hands.
"However, this sword is not as powerful as you might think! I activate its effect! I can target a set card you control and the monster equipped with this card loses 500 ATKs!" Tariko declared.
Noble Knight Borz ATK: 1200
"But why would you do that if your monster is just going to become weaker?" Sawatari wondered.
Tariko wagged a finger."'Cause your set card will be destroyed! Round of Thousand!" Borz rose his sword in the air and slashed it down, creating a shockwave that destroyed Sawatari's card.
"Battle! Bedwyr will destroy your Pretty Heroine!" Bedwyr threw his cup away and drew a small dagger and dashed over Heroine.
"Wait just a second! From the graveyard...I will activate a Trap Card!" Sawatari cried out.
Tariko's eyes looked like they were going to bulge out from his skull."A Trap Card from the graveyard?!"
"You shouldn't be so surprised. I once thought that cards only had value based on how expensive and shining they were. I didn't take effects into account at all. But someone opened up my eyes to see that even a low-level card can surpass a strong monster. I believe he's from your Dimension?"
"I knew it. I can't believe Yuto had this much impact on you." Tariko growled.
Sawatari smirked condescendingly."My Trap Card, Abyss Actor's Burial can only be activated while it's in the graveyard. Basically, when an opponent's monster declares battle on a monster I control that has lower ATKs than mine, their attacks are switched until the end of the battle!"
"Which means...!" Tariko gasped.
"That's right! Your monster will be destroyed!"
Noble Knight Bedwyr ATK: 1500
Abyss Actor - Pretty Heroine ATK: 1600
Pretty Heroine smacked Bedwyr on the head hard, destroying him.
Tariko LP: 3900
"And now the play goes on! Pretty Heroine's effect activates! Once per turn after damage calculation, a monster of yours loses ATKs equal to the total damage we both took! That'll be 100!"
Noble Knight Borz ATK: 1100
"And finally, Masquerade's Pendulum Effect! When an "Abyss Actor" monster destroys a monster I control, I can add a "Abyss Actor" card from my Deck to my hand!" He took his card and grinned."Finally, partner!"
"No matter! You just got one card, so what? It won't make a difference for me! I set two cards face-down and call it a turn!"
Shingo shrugged his shoulders."I guess I'll just have to prove you wrong! It's my turn! I draw! Using the already set Pendulum Scale, I Pendulum Summon once again! The start of the show has arrived, Abyss Actor Superstar! And he's accompanied by none other than Wild Hope!"
Abyss Actor - Superstar Level 7, Scale 3, Dark, Fiend, Pendulum, ATK: 2500, DEF: 1800
Abyss Actor - Wild Hope Level 4, Scale 2, Dark, Fiend, Pendulum, ATK: 1600, DEF: 1200
"I activate Superstar's effect! Once per turn, I can add an "Abyss Script" Spell card from my Deck to my hand! I activate the Spell Card I just added, Abyss Script - Blessing of the Goddess! It allows all of my monsters to gain 200 ATK per each "Abyss Actor" monster I control! And they will keep their ATKs until they are destroyed! Since I control 5 "Abyss Actor" cards, my monsters gain 1000 ATKs!"
Abyss Actor - Wild Hope ATK: 2600
Abyss Actor - Bigstar ATK: 3500
Abyss Actor - Pretty Heroine ATK: 2500
"He's getting ready for a one turn kill..." Tariko noted.
Sawatari grinned confidently."It's too late to figure that out! Battle! Bigstar will attack your monster!"
"Ha! I'll be damned if a swordsman such as myself lost this way! I activate my Trap Card, Fair Confrontation! If my opponent controls more monsters than I do, they can only battle with the weakest monster they control!"
"Tch! Still, Pretty Heroine is still stronger than your monster!" He pointed out.
Tariko crossed arms condescendingly."That's where my OTHER Trap Card comes in! Sudden Deathmatch!" Noble Knight Borz and Pretty Heroine were suddenly riding horses clad in armor as they held a sphere in their hands.
"What's happening?" Sawatari eyed his monster worryingly."What did you do to my Pretty Heroine?!"
"Just a good old deathmatch to settle a dispute, like how knights used to do back then. With this Trap Card, our monsters will have the ATKs of that of the strongest monster in Battle. That will be your little monster."
Noble Knight Borz ATK: 2500
Abyss Actor - Pretty Heroine ATK: 2500
"Now, our monsters will battle each other to the death! Let the duel begin!" Tariko announced gleefully.
"But they'll just destroy each other! What's the point?" Sawatari was carefully eying for an Action Card around the area.
"Thing is, we get to draw a card from the Top of our Deck and if they're monsters, the one with the highest ATKs wins and those ATKs will be added to our respective monsters dueling. The loser monster is banished."
"Is this your idea of entertainment?" Shingo placed his hands on his hips."I must say, it's actually kinda refreshing."
"I started learning entertainment dueling but I let go of it in a flash. My mentor was just unfitted to be remembered. Anyways..." Tariko watched as both monsters began charging each other in their horses.
Both duelists grabbed a hold of the top of their deck, waiting for the opportunity to strike."DRAW!" They both cried out.
"I got Abyss Actor - Curtain Raiser, which has 1100 ATKs!" Sawatari showed his card.
"And I got Noble Knight Drystan and he's packing a solid 1800 ATKs!"
Noble Knight Borz ATK: 4300
Abyss Actor - Pretty Heroine ATK: 3600
Borz extended his spear and impaled Pretty Heroine, knocking her off her horse and causing her to cry in pain before disappearing.
Sawatari LP: 3200
Shingo's eyes widened after seeing what he witnessed."That was so cruel...I'm sorry, Pretty Heroine..."
"You really don't have time to worry about your monsters. You should worry about what I have planned next turn for you." Tariko remarked."At this moment, we return the cards we drew back to the Deck and shuffle."
"I set card and end my turn," Sawatari concluded.
"Then I'll go! I draw! I Summoned Noble Knight Gawayn in ATK mode!"
A knighr with bronze armor and a blue scarf appeared on Tariko's field.
Noble Knight Gawayn Level 4, Light, Warrior, ATK: 1900, DEF: 500
"Then I'll activate the Spell Card, Noble Equality! I can target a monster I control and increase its Level by one!"
Noble Knight Gawayn Level 5
"He's got two Level 5 monsters." Sawatari observed, frowning."Here comes his XYZ Summon!"
"Using both Level 5 Gawayn and Borz, I overlay!" Tariko cried out as his monsters entered a black portal as he chanted.
"Sacred king that rules over the land of the warriors, raise your sword and cut through the sky itself! XYZ Summon! Cry out for glory, Rank 5! Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus!"
A knight with silver armor, a red cape, and two swords appeared on the field.
Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus Rank 5, Light, Warrior, XYZ, ATK: 2200, DEF: 2200, OU: 2
"When this card is XYZ Summoned, I can target up to 3 "Noble Arms" cards in my graveyard and equip them to this card! Naturally, I'll bring back Noble Arms - Arfeudutyr and activate its effect! I can target a set card you control and my monster loses 500 ATKs, however, that card is destroyed!"
Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus ATK: 1700
"I'm far from done! By detaching an Overlay Unit, I can target a monster you control and destroy it! I target your dumb looking Bigstar! King's Command!"
Artorigus rushed over Bigstar and slashed its body completely, leaving only pieces of its body before they vanished.
"Damn you! How dare you do that to my Bigstar!" Sawatari hissed.
"Relax, your monsters are safe...not really. By banishing Fair Confrontation from my graveyard, I can equip as many "Noble Arms" Spell Cards from my Deck to my monster up to the number of monsters you currently control. Since I got rid of little Bigstar, I'll be equipping one! Noble Arms - Gallatin! It gives my monster 1000 ATKs boost!"
Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus ATK: 2700
"Its surpassed Wild Hope by a solid 1000!" Sawatari yelped.
"Battle! King Artorigus attacks Wild Hope!" Tariko began rushing towards a platform and jumped on top of it.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?!" Sawatari began chasing after the swordsman."At this moment, Wild Hope's effect activates! It gains 100 ATK per each Abyss Actor monster I control!" He grabbed an action card, rolling down to the ground."Then I activate the Action Card, Miracle! My monster is not destroyed and battle damage is halved!"
Abyss Actor - Wild Hope ATK: 2700
"Nice try! But I can play the same game! I activate the Action Card, Star Purity! My monster gains 500 ATKs!" Tariko laughed aloud as he backflipped from a platform to the ground, landing on one knee.
Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus ATK: 3200
King Artorigus used his new sword along with his old one to cut through the air, causing the force to reach Sawatari and push him back.
Sawatari LP: 2700
Sawatari grabbed a hold of his arm, noticing that the slash had managed to cut him a little.'He's using Action Cards as if he's been using them his whole life! The power of the Unifiers of Chaos is just terrifying!'
"I end my turn." Tariko smirked confidently."So, ready to give up? I really prefer to do other stuff than to keep this dumb duel up."
Sawatari gave a dry laugh."Wouldn't you like that, huh? Sorry to tell you this, but I will never give up on a duel."
"Still clinging to that stupid dream of yours to be the best duelists? Then I'll just have to beat you and card you."
"Just try! My turn, I draw! Using the already set Pendulum Scale, I Pendulum Summon Bigstar!"
Tariko scowled."Really? Again? This is getting old fast."
"Once again, I'll use Bigstar's effect and get an "Abyss Script" card from my Deck to my hand! I'll activate the Spell Card Abyss Script - Extra! By sending my whole hand to the graveyard, I can draw cards up to the number of "Abyss" cards I control! Counting my Pendulum Scales, I'll draw a total of 5 cards!"
"Damn it." Tariko spat."He gained a new hand just like that!"
"Next, I'll activate the Spell Card, Abyss Script - Opening Ceremony! I gained 500 LP for each ATK position "Abyss Actor" monster I control!"
Sawatari LP: 3700
"And finally, I activate the Spell Card, Abyss Script - Tragic Hero! I can sacrifice Wild Hope and give his ATKs to Bigstar until the end of the turn!"
Abyss Actor - Bigstart ATK: 2500 + 2600= 5100
"5100 ATKs?!" Tariko practically screamed in shock.
"Battle! Bigstar, destroy his King!" Sawatari punched the air, commanding his monster to jump in the air and dive kick Artorigus.
Tariko ran towards an Action Card but it was too high for him."No choice!" He unsheathed his sword and planted it on the ground, using it as a stepping stone to jump higher, grabbing the Action Card."I'll use my own Miracle! My monster is not destroyed and Battle Damage is halved!"
"However, thanks to Twinkle Star's Pendulum effect, Bigstar can attack 3 times!"
"Impossible!" Tariko was now in full panic. Bigstar appeared in front of Tariko and kicked him three times, each blow knocking the air out of him.
Tariko landed on the ground, clenching his sides in pain.
Tariko LP: 300
"Masquerade's Pendulum Effect activates. When an Abyss Actor I control destroys another monster, I can add an "Abyss Actor" from my Deck to my hand.I set 3 cards and end my turn." Sawatari announced, smiling."Somehow, I managed to turn the tables on him. Just another turn until I can defeat him and get to Maria."
Abyss Actor - Bigstar ATK: 2500
Tariko remained facing the sky, not moving a muscle."Damn...that really hurt!"He sat up, moving his fist."Asshole! You really almost kill me!"
"Hey! You're the one who wants to card me! Sawatari shot back, stomping on the ground comically.
"Whatever! This is the end of the line for you! My turn! At this moment, due to Gallatin's effect, King Artorigus loses 200 ATK!"
Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus ATK: 2500
"I draw!" Tariko drew with all of his strength, creating a black shockwave.'
'What is this?!' Sawatari covered his face from the wind.'Just now, I felt an incredible power coming from his Deck.'
"I drew it! You're done for! From my Hand, I summon Noble Knight Artorigus!"
Noble Knight Artorigus Level 4, Light, Warrior, ATK: 1800, DEF: 1800
"I activate the Spell Card, Chaotic Fusion!" Tariko roared, raising his card in the air as a purple lightning struck the ground.
"Chaotic Fusion?!" Sawatari repeated in confusion.
"That's right! I'll fuse both of my Artorigus to Fusion Summon a monster that is worthy of the title of "King of Kings!"
A crimson portal appeared behind of knights, absorbing them as Tariko chanted.
"Almight knight with the sword that cuts through worlds, bring supreme rule over the lands of your people! CHAOS Fusion Summon! Descend from your throne, King of Kings! Level 9, CHAOS Sacred Noble Knight, Gilgamesh!"
A knight clad in golden armor with a long red cape appeared on the field. He had long golden air with emerald color ayes. He was holding a ruby sword and behind his back was a silver shield.
Chaos Sacred Noble Knight, Gilgamesh Level 9, Dark, Warrior, Fusion, ATK: 2000, DEF: 2000
"When Gilgamesh is successfully Fusion Summoned, I can add a "Chaos Noble Arms" Equip Card from my Deck to my hand! I then activate his effect, which allows me to get up to two Noble Arms Equip Cards from my Deck to my hand!"
"What the hell? What are you planning to do?" Sawatari took a step back, baffled at what he was witnessing.
"The preparations are now complete! I activate the Equip Spell, Chaos Noble Arms - Nunibosu!"
The ruby sword was replaced by a large black sword. The blade was long and double-edged, with the forward-facing edge curving outward to form the guard.
"Thanks to Nunibosu's effect, I can banish all of my "Noble Arms" Spell cards and give Gilgamesh 1000 ATK per each card banished! That's a total of 4000 ATK!"
CHAOS Sacred Noble Knight Gilgamesh Level 9, Dark, Warrior, Fusion, ATK: 6000, DEF: 6000
"No way! An ATK of 6000?!" Sawatari's eyes widened upon the realization.
"Battle! Gilgamesh, obliterate his jester! King's Judgement!" Gilgamesh rose his sword as this one began shining a deeper shade of black.
"I activate my Trap Card, Aby-"
"During Battle Phase, card effects cannot be activated! You can't even rely on Action Cards! This is the end!"
Gilgamesh swung his sword down, creating a massive slash that was coming at a rapid speed towards Bigstar. The attack was so powerful that it was cutting through the ground itself.
"I forgot to mention that Nunibosu has another effect. If it was Activated with more than 3 "Noble Arms" Equip Cards, it can attack that same amount! Therefore, I can attack 4 times!"
Gilgamesh slashed 3 more times through the air, following his initial one. Bigstar was completely decimated and now the other attacks came towards Sawatari, launching him towards a building.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHH!" Sawatari yelled in pain as the slashed cut through parts of his body. He felt to the ground, a pool of blood forming where he was.
Sawatari LP: 0
Winner: Tariko!
"Phew! That sure was a close duel for me. I underestimated you. Too bad. I respect your bravery and manliness, however. You gave everything you had to save that girl. You must truly love her. I sympathize with you." Tariko walked over to Sawatari, clicking a few buttons as a red light began shining in his Duel Disk."Farewell, Sawatari-dono."
"Hold it!" A voice yelled furiously. Tariko barely had time to react when a punch to the face knocked him off his feet.
"Sawatari!" Kurono knelt down to the boy.
Kurosaki gritted his teeth at Tariko, who was beginning to stand up."To think you'd be here as well...Tariko."
"Shun..." Tariko seemed amused."So, you survived your duel with Makoto. I expected no less from you."
Shun looked at his former friend pitifully before turning to Kurono."How is he?"
"He has some deep buts on his body, but I can patch him up."
Kurosaki nodded, activating his Duel Disk and summoning Raidraptor - Vanishing Lanius."Let's go. I'll help you up."
"Running away?" Tariko tilted his head."Though we're both in no condition to duel, so I can understand. Howeve-"
"Tariko." Kurosaki interrupted."Mark my words..." He turned to the redhead as his monster began flying."Next time we meet, I will bring all of you back!" With that Vanishing Lanius carried all three duelists out of the area.
Tariko observed the metallic bird disappeared behind buildings, motionless."Who says there'll be a next time?"
